Release 0.9.2 of nss-pam-ldapd

2013-10-30

This is an update for the 0.9 development branch of nss-pam-ldapd
that includes a number of improvements.
This release includes a number of improvements to the tests and to
portability.
This branch will see more development and features added.

As such, this isn't the most stable version and should be used with
caution. The 0.8 branch will remain to be supported
with bug and security fixes for some time.

A summary of the changes since 0.9.1:

increase password value buffer size (by Bersl)

avoid more broken pipe errors by using a low timeout when aborting
reading requested information from nslcd
(thanks John Sullivan)

only log broken pipe errors in debugging mode

fix buffer overflow on interrupted read that is hard to trigger (thanks
John Sullivan)

use clock_gettime() with CLOCK_MONOTONIC for timeout
calculations to avoid clock adjustments errors (thanks John Sullivan)

Ideas, comments and patches for functionality are more than welcome.
